Join me and Greg Canty (host of the Win Happy podcast) as we pull back the curtain on the making of The 4 Of Us' latest album.

Today we explore how lockdown transformed "Waiting Game" into reality with the creative input of our online audience. "Night Out of Town" chronicles a teenager's first taste of freedom, and we uncover the collaborative songwriting process behind "Tree Of Life." Plus: the brutal truth about tracks that got axed.

From raw demos to masters—discover the journey of how "Crescent Nights" came to life.

Join me and Greg Canty from the WinHappy podcast.for part 2 of our behind-the-scenes look at making The 4 Of Us' latest LP, Crescent Nights.

Today's episode features three songs that made the final cut and some unreleased tracks. Hear 'Carry Me to the Water,' a song about our father's summer vacation turned ferry service across beach rocks, and 'Boneshaker,' an anthem to our first taste of freedom on two wheels.

Plus, learn about our brother Paul's revolutionary mixing technique on 'Hurt People,' where removing almost every instrument proved that less can be more.

The 4 of Us have always been storytellers, and our latest album Crescent Nights is the latest chapter in a musical journey that began in the heart of Northern Ireland.

Today we delve into Sugar Island, our autobiographical album exploring our early lives in the border town of Newry during turbulent times. Discover how fatherhood, Nashville, and family memories shaped this musical journey of childhood, checkpoints, and first loves. I also talk about how I first found my voice as a singer and how some of the family weren't impressed.

Joining me is my good friend, Greg Canty, host of the WinHappy podcast.

As The 4 Of Us release our latest album, Crescent Nights, we reflect on the records that have shaped our journey. In this episode, I'm joined by my co-host, Greg Canty of the WinHappy podcast, to discuss my solo project, Walk With Me.

Our story begins with an invitation to Music City, USA. Celebrated songwriter Sharon Vaughn opens the doors to Nashville's Music Row, and I return home with a bunch of stripped-back songs in search of a home. It soon turns into a family affair. One track resonates so deeply with my dad that he decides to record his own version in the studio!! My brother Paul helps out along with Declan and Enda, and guitarists Henry McCullough and Kieran Goss lend their expertise. Join us as we recount the transatlantic journey behind my album, Walk With Me.

The 4 Of Us are set to release our newest album, 'Crescent Nights', reflecting on the previous works that led us here. With our co-host Greg Canty, also the WinHappy podcast host, we dive into the creation process of our fourth album, Heaven & Earth.

We used song titles as writing prompts, drum beats as muses, and a box of tricks called the SU 700 to create atmospheric soundscapes.

The result?

Songs like Sunlight and Gospel Choir. So, are you ready to hop into our time machine and travel back to 2003?
